## What is YANKAI'S TRIANGLE?

"Triangle ... Triangle ... Triangle"
5/5 - Touch Arcade

YANKAI'S TRIANGLE is a love letter to TRIANGLES. A puzzling puzzle game about the beauty and joy of infinitely tapping on TRIANGLES for some reason. 

With an elegant innovative revolutionary TRIANGLE-first approach to interface, YANKAI'S TRIANGLE lets you tap on TRIANGLES to spin them and stuff. Colors play a part in gameplay too I think. Bring TRIANGLES to a forgotten TRIANGLE, and uncover a TRIANGLE hidden deep beneath the YANKAI.

• Pretty Fun Gameplay (it's all right)
• No Filler - A Veritable Infinity of Meticulously Definitely Handcrafted TRIANGLES
• Over 1.74 x 10^26 Possible Levels (all definitely handcrafted)
• Color
• An Inscrutable Three-Pronged Scoring System
• A 'Happy Sounds' Option (woohoo!)
• A 'Colorblind' Option if You Are Colorblind (it's not great tbh)
• A Cool Film Grain Effect (some people don't like it but i think it's cool)
• A Cool Tiled TRIANGLE Background Effect
• Also there are Leaderboards
• And some Achievements

### 5/5 — I am freaked out

*2024-12-24, version 3.9.27*

The static and ambience combined with the eyes on some levels make me intimidated and waiting for a jumpscare… other than that 10/triangle, would play again!

### 5/5 — YANKAI’S TRIANGLES

*2024-06-09, version 3.9.27*

This game has allowed me to form a more holistic and nuanced view of the universe we live in

It is perfect

### 5/5 — YANKAI,S TRIANGLE.-🤔—💭 ?

*2022-05-15, version 3.9.27*

I’m loving this!, this is a right head scratcher this one & an absolute mindbender to boot.
I’ve never seen a game quite like this.
& when the puzzles get harder and I can’t solve the puzzle I’m on I get annoyed with it!
But that’s what gaming is all about isn’t it 👍
I specifically look on the App Store for games like this. Games that are totally out the ordinary. & this is it. A right brain 🧠 Scratching puzzler  this one.

### 5/5 — LOVE OF TRIANGLES

*2019-01-23, version 3.9.27*

This is more an art piece than a game. I don’t think I paid for it(it was years ago and I deleted it for space but downloaded it again today) but it would be worth money.

### 4/5 — Great game, super addictive

*2018-11-26, version 3.9.27*

I love this game. Sometimes I play with the sound muted because I find the audio kind of spooky. I like that aesthetic though, so other times I leave it on. I almost gave it a bad review because I thought one of the levels was broken, but it turned out I just needed to up my puzzle game. The only suggestion I would make is there should be an option to turn off the levels that have fast flashing/strobe-like effects for folks with epileptic or sensory processing issues.

### 4/5 — Triangles

*2018-09-21, version 3.9.27*

It’s a fun game, but could really benefit from iCloud game saves. I don’t particularly feel like starting over to play on a new device.

### 1/5 — Lacks Basic Game Instructions

*2018-04-01, version 3.9.27*

Disappointing App in that I couldn’t find some basic instructions on what I was supposed to do.  I found it to be boring without knowing the basics.  The developer’s website contained no information at all - just screen shots.

### 5/5 — Clever, relaxing, fun, and sometimes hard.

*2018-02-17*

An amazing game, I loved it from the very start with its relaxing gameplay and interesting hard and easy levels. I love playing this game so much, I wish I was able to get yankais peak but I don’t have money. Anyway this game is so fun and a great stress reliever. Been playing for such a long time and love it.

### 5/5 — Great

*2018-02-07, version 3.9.27*

This game is not like the others. The difference is that if you hate this game, it will hate you right back.

### 2/5 — First impressions

*2017-12-17, version 3.9.27*

I had a few concerns before purchasing this game:
1) can I mute sounds to minimize the creepiness? (I wanted a peaceful game, not a creepy one) and can I listen to my own music while playing?
2) are the visuals bothersome?
3) do the puzzles get repetitive?
4) does the playtime justify the price?
I’m a picky buyer. I look through reviews for days before picking something up. Yanki’s Triangle seemed pretty cool and it’s an endless, procedurally generated puzzle. I like endless puzzles and high score puzzles, so I was interested.
Here are my answers:
1) yes and yes. It’s in the settings. Muting the background noises will also mute the noises of the turning and clicking triangles, though (they’re indistinguishable, so you get complete silence). Play your own music by swiping up and pressing play. This also mutes all sound effects, even with the volume up. There are also a few bugs with playing your own music. It’ll freeze and you have to start over (on that level, not the game!!!)
2) I was not bothered by the visuals. The grainy effect was meh. May get tiring after a while. The triangles get slightly larger and smaller, as if they are breathing.
3) I have not played long enough to justify answering this question. Levels zoom by like nothing, though. I slammed through 30 of them in 40 minutes. I’m sure the later ones take longer, but that’s a warning to be wary despite people claiming to be on level 600 or whatever. Still impressive though :)
4) again, haven’t played long enough. I’m going on a trip (no wifi! Which is why I was looking for a good no-WiFi game) for a week or so. I will update my review when I come back.
Other notes: it seems like a fast addiction kind of game. I’ve read that new mechanics are introduced hundreds of levels in, though. I don’t have a good stamina for puzzlers (Threes lasted the longest for me) but we’ll see. I’ve been dissatisfied with puzzles lately. Twofold Inc. was a disappointment, and I was upset I couldn’t refund it; but Alto’s Adventure (an infinite runner) was fantastic. Maybe I should take a break from puzzlers lol. So, the praise I’m giving to this game is probably due to the new game high I’m experiencing right now (that initial excitement of playing something new). I’ll update once that fades.
Update: the more I played the game, the more I felt something was missing. Ive finally realized: this game has no atmosphere. The difficulty curve is broken. There is no score to chase — I can’t understand the scoring system and my research has come up with nothing. It’s not soothing like most puzzlers; while I appreciate the uniqueness and respect the creepy tone I think the developer wanted to show, the lack of music makes it seem somewhat bland. That is, I’m not feeling the creepy vibes. If there were equally intoxicating music, I would appreciate it more.
I’m stuck on a level and nothing is urging me to finish it. I don’t feel a sense of satisfaction; lack of scoring and lack of atmosphere (music) keeps me from satisfaction. 
-2 stars
